Course overview
GSM Radio Network Planning and Optimization provides a solid understanding of how to design and plan a high quality GSM radio network. The course also covers how to expand the network, techniques to boost capacity, how to lower interference and increase quality in the network. Macro cell planning is emphasised in the course, however planning with micro- and pico-cells is also featured. Furthermore it is discussed how cell-planning tools can enhance the cell planning process and how problems can be solved regarding co-existence with other GSM, WCDMA or LTE systems.
The course outline corresponds to the steps in a network planning process. Along the course, these steps are illustrated by calculation exercises. By performing the exercises, the participants complete their own networks.
